I Stay, Yet I Rise

I read your storms before your skies turned gray, I knew your silence had too much to say. Your voice would tremble, mine would quietly bend, I wore my heart like armor, lover and friend. I stayed through shadows, guessed your hidden pain, Held pieces of you through thunder and rain. Yet when my oceans rose and pulled me apart, You stood like distance, not close to my heart. Tell me, what kind of love clocks out at night? Leaves at midnight and calls that feeling right? How do you whisper “I care” then disappear, When the one who loves you is drowning in fear? I know, I know you care in ways you can, You stayed till two, till three, tried to understand. But love is not counted in rare borrowed hours, It is presence in weakness, not petals and flowers. And maybe, yes, I hid tears in my chest, Pretended my breaking deserved little rest. Maybe I never screamed, “Please, don’t you go,” Expected your heart to simply know. But darling, if I call you mine, even friend, I’d sit through the nig...

Let people judge you...


Let people judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you.
What they think of you isn't your Problem.
Their opinions do not pay your Bill's. So you stay kind, committed to Love & Free in your authenticity and no matter what they do or say... never doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. You keep on shining and let the haters hate.
